The Paper Bag Princess

a prince is kidnapped by a dangerous dragon, and the dragon's breath burns up all the clothes in the palace. The princess who loves the prince can only find a paper bag to wear when she goes to rescue her love. Cleverly tricking the dragon, she enters the cave where the prince, still beautifully dressed, is held captive. Is true love rewarded? No! He at once complains she's "a disaster" badly dressed, dirty and all messed up. She replies that he is a fine and handsome prince--but completely useless. "And, in the end, they didn't marry."

There is truly something for everyone in this fantasy book. With a dragon, prince, and a princess, both boys and girls will enjoy this book from beginning to end. The illustrations are vibrant, colorful, and filled with expression. The message, although a little mature, is to not judge a book by its cover. With or without understanding the message, children are sure to enjoy the imagination that went into this book.
